Hi Alex,<br><br>The plug-play modem software doesnt always work on Linux, but I&#39;ll tell you something that always works on linux : ppp or gnome-ppp or kppp (all birds of the feather). On most systems the modem dialer (ppp and its brethren) works seamlessly through NetworkManager applets. <br>

<br>Click on the NetworkManager applet at the bottom -right corner and select the option to connect to &quot;GSM broadband blah blah&quot; or something to that effect --&gt; an hour glass for a few seconds and then annotification &quot;you are now connected to blah blah blah&quot;. <br>

<br>If this doesnt work, I&#39;d suggest you try a more recent version of OpenSuse or Ubuntu as Imelda hinted.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 16 September 2010 06:40, imelda <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:mueni0@gmail.com">mueni0@gmail.com</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>
